First visit. I met Dr. Roberts for the first time. I've never met a dentist who was so detailed in explaining my personal dental situation. He made me so comfortable and has such a pleasant demeanor. I found a dentist with a great staff! Dr. Roberts really cares and will be someone I can trust. Thank you!

The best place, no matter the urgency. They always make you feel welcome and don’t make you feel judged like every other dentist office. They lay out the cost before leading you into any work so you’re not surprised come payment time. Also, they work with you, making a plan of work that needs to be done along with cosmetic repairs, that help you feel better as a person. Highly recommend this office to anyone and everyone. This location has the best customer service from the receptionist (Molly, the absolute best) all the way up to the dentist. They understand the dentist is an overall uncomfortable

I've been going to Gentle Dental of Brockton for quite a few years now and I must say that the experiences that I have had are awesome! I am a person who does not like the dentist but from day 1 that I started going there, Dr Roberts has made, and continues to make, me comfortable with the services I need and puts the Gentle in the Dental! The hygienist and other staff are great as well. So, if your looking for a great dentist, go check them out for yourself! They truly
make it so that you don't mind getting your smile on 😁

My whole family goes here and we are happy with the service. The dentists are great, specialty departments (unfortunately I have had to see them for root canals and a pulled tooth) are wonderful and accommodating and the hygienist (Kane) is great! My two year old is just starting to go and hygienist Kane is super patient and allows my son to set the pace. Highly recommended all around!

My husband went to Gentle Dental because their price for a cleaning was$126.00 where our currant dentist was giving us a price of $257.00. Our current dentist was new to us too since our longtime dentist had retired. He went to Gentle Dental and they said he would get a cleaning, x rays and exam for a new patient promotion if $57.00. When he went they did the x rays and exam, but said he would have to come back for the cleaning which would be done in 4 deep cleaning sessions, one quarter of his mouth at a time. The first quarter was the only thing covered under the $57.00 special. After that each

I have been very pleased with my visits here. The Staff is a pleasure to work with. Everything is explained in full detail before any work is done and the costs are discussed ahead of time as well. They will even provide a detailed estimate with insurance factored in.. Dr Kim and her staff are very professional and you should forget the 1800 dentist thing and just call them.

After going here for more than 15 years, the dentist I had been seeing left the practice with no warning. The staff was rude when I expressed my surprise and displeasure that no one called me to let me know that my appointment would not be with this dentist. (Anyone who has dental anxiety will tell you that seeing a new dentist requires some warning).
** I decided to see a new dentist, who just found HUGE problems with my fillings and crowns. Gentle Dental had said I had two areas of decay and my new dentist found more than 16!!!!! Old fillings were left in my mouth to rot and GD just told me it

Just an overall horrendous experience. You don't have to take my word for it, let the majority of the reviews speak for themselves. Had a front crown put in just two years ago with almost $3000 out of pocket. It fell out while eating nachos within the first week chipping a back tooth of mine. After re-cementing, here I am with still no front tooth and out almost $3000 as a single dad of an 8 year old two weeks before Christmas. This time my tooth fell out while in the shower. I baby'd the crown. Anyone who knows me knows this.
Regardless, these lying

I had a wisdom tooth pulled here back in August 2014. The dentist was nice, but was not very professional (who wants to hear about the "ALS Ice Bucket Challenge" while they're having needles shoved in their mouth?). The front-desk staff--the first people who you encounter when you enter the place--were absolutely miserable to deal with and were all-around stuck up. In fact, the day I went to get my tooth pulled, I could clearly hear them making fun of a patient that had called earlier that day; regardless of the situation, your patients should NOT have to listen to your workplace

I signed up with gentle dental back in 2008. I started going here for cleanings and started seeing a dentist there. Funny thing is I started getting more cavities the more I saw the dentists. See a pattern? They will purposely give you faulty fillings,caps,and create more holes in your teeth. One specific time, they closed a cavity for me which they charged me for, then 4 months later, they say it was a root canal, and will have to charge me again. Um .. Hello.. They are a bunch of scheming scavengers who advertise as if they actually care about the practice. They have absolutely no integrity

I am so sorry to say, the management needs to do something about the teeth cleaning for patients.
My daughter, 10, went a couple months ago, I could tell that's an unpleasant dental experience for her... She was treated roughly. She does not want to go back again...
We are real patients. Please take care your services seriously, pay a bit more to hire good staff or you are loosing business.

I had my Invisalign from here. The reason I went with Gentle Dental instead of somewhere else was mainly due to the cost. Other places were quoting me at least 1-2k more.
With that said, I do think the service here is not very personal though Dr. Lim is nice. Most of the girls do not make you feel very welcome. In addition, they are not very good with their scheduling and late appointments are the norm. This is likely due to the fact that Dr. Lim is only in this office once a week so everything needs to be crammed into that one day, which is tough.
I don't regret going here for

This place is horrible. If you're having anything done out of the ordinary routine check-up, they will try to trick you into paying more for the service. They don't tell you how much it will cost and will throw a huge bill on you as you're leaving after surgery.
Don't ever come here. They don't care about you and will keep suggesting to get stuff you don't need like prolonging your braces wear or even getting them when you're 40.
They are extremely shady and unprofessional people.
